Argentina see off Venezuela to set up titanic Copa clash with Brazil

Argentina have overcome Venezuela 2-0 to set up a titanic last-4 meeting with Brazil in the Copa America semifinals next Tuesday.

Argentina went ahead after 10 minutes of play, when Lautaro Martinez redirected Sergio Aguero’s strike, with a clever back-heeled flick into the net.

Argentina breathed a sigh of relief in the 74th minute through Giovani Lo Celso, who was in the right place, at the right time to make it 2-0 after the Venezuelan keeper spilled another shot from Aguero.
